So yeah not a major site but a great score nonetheless

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/video-games/6514124/Call-Of-Duty-Modern-Warfare-2-video-game-review.html

"it's certainly the finest game in its genre, as well one of the truly great games of this or indeed any year."


"It's a testament to abilities of Infinity Ward's talented pool of developers that Modern Warfare 2 doesn't just surpass the quality of its predecessor, it flies past it like a ski-jumper."

1. It is a newspaper. Not saying they cant play games, but their credibility concerning video games is suspect

2. It was the 360 review...lets wait for the PC scores.

Does anyone actually do honest reviews any more?

Too many of them are nothing but bought and paid for advertisements for games.

everyone knows that reviews are influenced by the budget of the game and how much hype it gets. Very rarely will the gameplay play a factor in a review score.

The only site I trust to bring honest reviews these days are Destructoid though I still like GS's "The Good" and "The Bad". Also for them to get an early copy for review means Activision made sure they would give the game a high score so no surprise there.

It's not like they can review PC multiplayer until it's out.

perhaps they simply opened the MW2 box and saw cash, smiled. and gave it a great review... I see no other reason for them to rate it so high

I reckon everything everyones said so far is balony. Reviews probably aren't corrupt a lot of the time, and so far from my eyes I haven't seen disagreed with a GS review or any other at that. COD MW2 most probably is a step up from games we've been playing at the moment.

Three reviews now. Haven't really heard of these three sources, though...

WRONG. COD4 was WAY better. The single player is like Vegas>Vegas 2, an expansion pack! Nothing new!

Also the multiplayer is more like COD World at War than COD4. Im dissapointed.

The only reason im sort of happy is the sometimes amazing scenarios in the single player.
